How to make Cucumber and Avocado Salad:
This is one of the salads that if you have all the ingredients in the fridge or on hand, you will have it ready in less than 5 minutes. So the first thing will be to wash all the vegetables.
Cut the cucumber into more or less thin slices and remember to peel it first. Take advantage and cut the cherry tomatoes in half and the onion in julienne.
For this green salad you can use the typical white onion or purple onion, both will give a good flavor to this summer dish. The red onion is a little sweeter and a powerful natural antioxidant, although both are full of vitamins and minerals.
As for the cheese, we have said in the ingredients that feta cheese should be used, but the truth is that you can use any type of salty fresh cheese or not, such as Burgos cheese. If you are in America or Caribbean countries, you can use any type of white cheese that is consistent.
Cut the avocado into strips and peel the orange so that you can cut small segments. The fruit gives a refreshing touch to the green salad, which makes it perfect for summer.
To make the vinaigrette, mix the oil with the vinegar and add a little salt and the herbs de Provence. Taste the dressing and add more or less of each ingredient until it is to your liking.
If you are not dieting and you like sweet and sour flavors, another dressing that can go very well with this cucumber and avocado salad is the honey mustard vinaigrette.
Assemble the cucumber and avocado salad by stirring all the ingredients together with the dressing and enjoy immediately. This green summer salad is perfect to serve as a starter or to accompany a grilled sea bream.
